Form 1099-G shows tax refund from the state in last year. Should this had been put on the federal tax form?

Yes, the state tax refund should have been included in your 2018 tax return, IF you itemized deductions on your 2017 return.

If you did not itemize, you do not have to include the amount. It is not taxable since you did not include state taxes as an itemized deduction.
